Yes, I’m a hypocrite. ;-)

  1. It’s made by Apple.
  2. It’s a cell phone.
  3. It’s an iPod.
  4. It’s a widescreen and touchscreen iPod.
  5. I can email with it.
  6. It’s a web browser.
  7. It’s a camera.
  8. It’s every other freakin’ thing in the world also.
  9. It looks really cool.
  10. It’s incredibly shiny.

Don’t forget why I don’t want one.

I’ve never thought much of Safari. To me it was always the one thing that Apple didn’t really try at. Well, today they have a new version, and for Windows. Yes, I’ve downloaded it. Here are my first thoughts…

  • It’s styled pretty much like the Windows iTunes with standard Windows buttons at top right, and an aqua interface.
  • Now, about it being 1.6 times faster than Firefox: Maybe it has something to do with my computer, but pages loaded really slowly in Safari.
  • On the other hand, the actual interface of the browser was lightning-fast. Onc you got a page, scrolling through it was a smooth as a Macbook Pro’s cover. (Hehe)
  • Still, I’ve downloaded the Firefox 3 Alpha 5 is much faster (seriously, like jet airplane fast.) Again, I think Safari’s slow page loading has something to do with me though.

Safari for Windows is a good browser, I’m glad that they did it. But for me it will never replace the power and functionality of Firefox. Anyway, in other Apple news:

Then if you notice tony walks into the diner and looks at the booth then the view changes to his perspective. As everyone walks in theres chimes. Carmella walks in and theres chimes, A.J. walks in and chimes, medow walks in and no chimes and it goes black. But rememer when tony and bobby are talking about what it feels like when someone gets “wacked” They say its like you dont even feel it everything probably just goes black. And thats what happened everything went black. So tony dies.
